Chicken Stir Fry

Ok, picture it: Mother's Day, you have expectations...don't lie. Well, I had put some chicken breasts in the fridge marinating on Saturday so they could be grilled...for me...on Mother's Day. Well, my husband is on a different schedule for work for 6 weeks and is now working nights, sleeping during the day. ( To his credit, he did want me to wake him up so he could cook dinner. ) I didn't of course. But, when I went to get the grill going, 1st, it was raining, 2nd there was no charcoal!

So, being the resourceful soul that I am (not), I dug through the fridge and discovered a nice big bag of chopped up vegies. Suddenly stir fry sounded good. In the past I have used a bottled stir fry sauce...just add it with water and your vegies and you are done. Well, I didn't have that bottle so I looked up a homemade recipe and tried it. www.allrecipes.com is where I found this one.

I really liked this recipe. It was so simple, but had a great flavor. Quick too.

2.In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil; stir-fry chicken until no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Add remaining oil; stir- fry broccoli, celery, carrots and onion for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add water and bouillon. Return chicken to pan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
